Edith McKinnon attended church at Mtn. Home Sunday and was a dinner guest of Marge Thomas, in her home at Lakeview, with their Sunday school group from church Edith visited me Sunday evening and picked up her vegetables that Marcia Lyon had left here for her. Dean and Marcia Lyon have a big garden and have been selling vegetables as fast as they can be harvested. Blackberries have dried up on the vines here since we had no rain. In fact many shrubs will be lucky to survive the heat with no water for so long.
